Question : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers are 1386 and 3 : 7 : 11, respectively. The sum of the greatest and least numbers is:
Option 1: 60
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 84
Option 4: 108
Correct Answer: 84
Solution : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers = 1386 Let the numbers be $3x, 7x,$ and $11x$. According to the question: $(3\times7\times11)x=1386$ ⇒ $231x=1386$ $\therefore x=6$ Thus, Least number $= 3x=3\times6=18$ Greatest number $=11x=11\times6=66$ $\therefore$ Sum $=18+66=84$ Hence, the correct answer is 84.
Question : Which of the following is a cold-blooded animal?
Option 1: Ape

Question : Directions: A tap can fill up a tank of 1250 litres in 4 hours, whereas another tap can fill the same tank in 8 hours. An outlet tap can empty that tank in 6 hours. If all three taps are opened simultaneously, then how much time will it take to fill the tank?
Option 1: 4.2 Hours
Option 2: 5 Hours
Option 3: 4.5 Hours
Option 4: 4.8 Hours
Correct Answer: 4.8 Hours
Solution : Time taken by tap A to fill the tank = 4 hours Tank filled by tap 1 in one hour = 1/4 part of the tank Time taken by tap B to fill the tank = 8 hours Tank filled by tap 2 in one hour = 1/8 part of the tank Time taken by tap C to empty the tank = 6 hours Tank emptied by tap 3 in one hour = 1/6 part of the tank So, the part of the tank filled in one hour when all three taps are opened simultaneously = 1/4 + 1/8 – 1/6 = (6 + 3 – 4)/ 24 = 5/24 Thus, time taken by 3 taps to fill the tank = 24/5 = 4.8 hours
So, the time taken by three taps to fill the tank is 4.8 hours. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
